Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Bluetooth Earbuds Compatible with iPhone and Android/Charging Case and Microphone/Great for Gym, Sports, and Gaming IP55 Water Dust Resistant - Black

We bought these as a cheaper alternative for my teenage son, who over time has lost several different versions of these. So eventually we looked for a cheaper alternative than the one to go with his phone. We were surprised by the quality of the product but also the quality of sound these produce. Charge really well and he uses them a lot.

I got these for my wife, who is forever misplacing her earbuds.Having lost her third pair of buds, I thought that it was time to get her something locatable.The plugs are good and hold a good charge. She has them plugged into her head on a daily basis and sometimes I feel that I've lost her to another world, as she trundles around the place while listening to audio books. Honestly... it's like living with an old lady who is hard of hearing, as when I call her I get no response until I tap her shouder. Maybe, on the other hand, she's using the buds as an opportunity to just ignore me. I've not figured that out yet.Anyway. I love watching her walk about the place with her smartphone, as she uses Bluetooth to find the buds when she loses them. It's like watching an old Star Trek episode (1969), where Spock would use a Tricorder to assess a new lifeform on an alien planet.On EVERY occasion, she's managed to find her buds, while using the tile function. So... money well spent.We recommend these buds highly.

Update to my original review. Unfortunately shortly after I used just the right bud on its own for the first time (the ability to use just one bud is supposed to be a feature of these buds), the left bud stopped connecting, and now they won't go into pairing mode at all, because they won't sync to each other when you take them out of the case. I've followed all the instructions for returning to factory reset, and that makes no difference. So I'm in the act of asking for a refund.I'm not the only person who has reported this - I don't know whether there is just a faulty batch of buds, or there's a software error causing this. I am suspecting the latter, because pairing to multiple devices is very fiddly, as I said in my original review, and it shouldn't be. And, once you have used one bud singly, my phone/computer bluetooth menu, as well as the Sesh Evo connection, shows an apparently permanently connected device Sesh-Evo-LE (the left bud, presumably) that you cannot "Forget" and have to reboot to get rid of.And, my first impressions (was four stars) . . .I received an unexpected Amazon voucher, so decided to treat myself to these, because I'd read several good reviews. I already have a perfectly excellent pair of Bose over-ear bluetooth headphones, so didn't really need these, but since they were effectively free, I decided to go for them.I'm glad I did, because they are everything (and more) that I'd expect at this price point. Good sound, great fit, supplied with multiple sizes of ear plug (I have small ears and struggle with fit for in ear headphones), clear calls, good battery life, excellent appearance and feel.So what's not to like? Why only 4 starts overall?They are fiddly to set up for more than one device, and also slightly fiddly to use with more than one device.The first device is easy to pair, because the buds are ready to pair as soon as you take them out of the case. But they don't come with written instructions for pairing another device, and the online help isn't much help either - it seems to suggest that you need to "forget" the first pairing, reset the buds, then pair with the other device. This would be extremely tedious. Fortunately, that's not the case. You can easily put them in pairing mode, but I had to watch the video on the help page, and spend a while trying various thing to find out how.If you've read this far, and you do decide to buy these buds and want connect them to more than one device, when you get them, scan the QR code that comes with them (which takes you to the help pages), watch the help video, make notes or save the link because some of the information in the video isn't written down elsewhere. Then read the rest of the help page. Most of the grief I had with pairing could have been avoided if clear pairing instructions were included in the box.Anyway, to pair an additional device, you need to start with the buds off and not connected to anything. If you take them out of the case, they will automatically connect to one of the devices you have already paired (frustratingly, I think that may be the first device you paired, rather than the last device you used, but I've not confirmed that yet).To turn them off, you can either go to the bluetooth menu for that device, and explicitly disconnect (you don't need to forget the device, just disconnect) or touch and hold both buds for 6 seconds, and they will power off.Then, touch and hold both buds for 4 seconds to put them into pairing mode (one light flashes red and blue). Now go to the device you want to pair, open the bluetooth menu, find the Sesh Evo buds and connect as normal.At the time of writing, if you pair with multiple devices, I still find it a bit hit and miss as to which device connects straight out of the case, and, unlike my Bose headphones, they don't tell you. They just say "Connected" but not to what.And here's the rub. If that's not the device you wanted to connect to this time, you first have to find out which device it has connected to, go to the bluetooth menu of that device, disconnect, then go to the bluetooth menu of the device you want to connect to, and manually connect. These little buds only support one connection at a time, and you won't be able to connect to a second device unless you have disconnected from the first.If you want to use this with multiple devices, you will spend a lot of time in their respective bluetooth menus!

Sound quality for music and podcasts are decent. The other modes seem a bit faffy to switch between, there is a cheat sheet with it if you forget the commands. Voice calls are not really an option. You can hear the caller but they will struggle to hear you. There's a charging issue which seems to alternate between ear buds. At first it was the left, now it is the right. They're OK for about 3 months (from my experience). I would recommend them as a budget bud but if you're going to use these daily, wait for a sale on a more established ear bud brand. In terms of comfort, they're pretty decent.

These are great earphonesI like them

My daughter bought these for herself, was so impressed with them she bought me a pair for my birthday. They are amazing! I am still working out how to turn the volume up, down etc but I'm getting there. If you loose one there is a locater beeping noise so you can find the missing bud (my daughter usually falls to sleep with them in her ears listening to sleepy music, hence she has to find the missing one under her bed using the locater beep).My husband borrowed mine once after purchasing another well known expensive brand which didn't fit his inner ears comfortably. He now has bought his own Skullycandy Sesh Evo buds.They are so noise cancelling you cannot hear people talking to you when they are in your ears, even with no music on. So if you just want peace and quiet, put these in your ears and have a kip :)

Says it all in the headline really. I bought these in July 2021. Loved them. Great battery life, good sound, easy to set up and connect. Unfortunately they have stopped connecting to any devices now (phone, laptop etc) - they just switch back off as soon as I try to turn them on and connect. Very disappointed to be honest.

Bought at a discount, found out they are expensive because they are great quality.Comfortable in the ear, long play time and good case to extend life when needed.
